San Diego metalcore group SECRETS have announced that their former frontman Aaron Melzer has tragically passed away.

Aaron provided unclean vocals for the band on their 2013 second record Fragile Figures, but left in 2015 after realising that "the touring lifestyle is no longer for me".

Taking to social media to announce Aaron's passing, SECRETS wrote: "Today we lost our brother, our friend, and our family with the passing of Aaron Melzer. Aaron’s passing came much too soon in his life and in ours. Words cannot express how devastating and painful this is for all of us to hear and believe.

"We will miss Aaron every day. Every day we will remember his presence, his laughter, the joy he could bring to a room, the light he brought with him to the stage, his smiles, his heart, and every memory we were able to share with him.

"For now we ask that you please respect the privacy of the family and loved ones as we take this time to reflect and grieve.

"We love you Aaron and you will not be forgotten.

"Aaron Forever"
